Discover a Unique Campaign at Osaka Metro Stations

In an innovative initiative to enhance the travel experience in Osaka, KDDI, in collaboration with Okinawa Cellular and KDDI Digital Life, introduces a unique campaign. Starting August 31, 2026, travelers at Umeda Station and Tanimachi Kyuchome Station will have the opportunity to interact with humanoid receptionists, a first for the area.

What to Expect

During this campaign, two humanoids designed by KDDI and AVITA will be stationed at both Metro Opus Umeda and Tanimachi Kyuchome east outlets. Clad in Osaka Metro uniforms, these humanoid attendants will provide various customer service functions, which include guiding travelers and answering inquiries. The interaction will be more than just informational; it aims to offer a friendly and engaging experience.

For the first 2,800 individuals who engage with the humanoid service, KDDI will give away a 24-hour unlimited data access PIN code. This initiative not only benefits current users of the povo2.0 service but also extends its advantages to new users who register during the campaign.
